Follow The House Debate On The Compromise Bill Live Here
Yes, the melodrama is back. Follow the latest developments straight out of Congress, which is now expected to be far closer to passing the bill as more republicans have voiced the support of the Compromise bill. This could be your last chance as today could well be the final day of the debt ceiling episode. At least for the current season.

Straight out of Congress - New Track by Bennie and the B Boys featuring MC Boener and DJ Obama.
Greened!
"Compromise Bill" my ass.
GREAT stick save by the PPT!
Party on bitchez!
Looks like they will kick the can into the abyss. I am throwing in the towel, and will vote for every Democrat on the ballot next election. It's too late for this Country, stick a fork in it.

Jimmy Z: Consider the 'Super Committee' & Forget the Debt
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
good, we'll spend less on prison food
It just passed the House. Those fasci are looking mighty shiney.
Here's where it gets really scary.
Today's new improved budget deal presumes our economy grows 3% from this day forward until the end of time.
Current growth is less than 1%. I wonder what they know that we don't.
They're going to make specialized gulags for old people where they mine silver and rare earths all day?
My take is that they know it's all broken, and they're just buying themselves time to sell their dollars to bigger suckers. The implication being that you should always trade against whatever they say is going to happen.
Buy some EURUSD for the bounce after the vote.
whatever the outcome is, sure bullish
ASK WHY, ASSHOLE (obama campain slogan 2012 FTW!)
OBAMA / BOEHNER 2012
Slogan: uh!. Er. Ur, Er! Ah!
I am 100% sure both obama and boehner use the Uh', Eh', Er', and Ahs', as a plan to dumb down the people, and to sound overly important.
10 minutes ron paul speech: 0 er's and uh's
10 minutes obama/boehner: 200 er' and uh's
I cant take it anymore ... i had to tell someone.
those little discontinuities are subconscious and not part of the narrative itself.
They can indicate dissonance between the internal and external narrative being delivered, i.e. sincerity.
A politician should have elevated capacity for "lying" so you have to look for more cues. Looking up while speaking is a giveaway, but a politician can suppress that. Rate of blinking is a good one that is hard to suppress.
Bush, Obama, RP and many other professional politicians are more sincere than you would think. Agree or not, they believe their own words.
As I see it, conservatives and banksters frequently flash contempt of the audience.
So, not only are they sincere; they are damn sure they are right and angry the audience is too damn stupid to understand.
I was nodding approval until...
"As I see it, conservatives and banksters frequently flash contempt of the audience."
Are you saying Obama showing contempt for the entire nation by trying to scare Granny about her check makes him a fiscal conservative?
Guess what...its the first of the month, no debt ceiling raise yet and Granny got her check. Tax reciepts are more than enough to cover Granny's checks.
What this says to me is he is willing to "terrorize" the elderly or anyone else for that matter to push this past his re-election campaign.
Contempt indeed.
OBAMA SLOGAN 2012:
DON'T ASK WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU,
BUT WHAT YOU MUST DO TO PAY YOUR INCREASED TAXES!
how many times can the market "price in" this farce?
it is all show. Meanwhile the market sit idle waiting for the next round of money printing to commence
No reason to sit idle, as there are coin shops calling my name.

Did that chipmunk just take a bite out of a Gold nugget? I thought you couldn't eat Gold? :)
The caption says 1964. Wasn't that the last time they put Silver in the coins? Coincidence?
64 (and prior) dimes and quarters were indeed 90% silver and the last of the real money for the surfs. The only dimes and quarters I know of that have any value are the ones in ziplock baggies - wink, wink, cough, cough.
Only you CD. Only you would be able to decode Rudolph and the sound money undertones in it. Brilliant.
Cheers to you.
So that's why your avatar has his head up his ass. To hide the pot smoke.
Brilliant!
Notto hide, per se, but rather reduce reuse and recycle.

Rectal weed, I would imagine, would be better that the rectal injection of fiat I have had to suffer through.
So it appears you are saying that rectal hemp is better than a rectal dry hump.
I agree. Don't bogart that joint my friend. I don't care where it has been, pass it on to me. :>)
1964 Dimes, quarters and halves were 90% silver. 1965-1970 halves were 40% silver. Some 1971-1976 Eisenhower dollars The 40% silver version of the Eisenhower dollar was issued as a collectible only, they are generally not found in circulation. The best way to distinguish the two versions is by weight. The copper-nickel version weighs 22.68 grams, the silver Ike dollar weighs 24.59 grams.
People oftern forget about copper cents. 1909-1981 cents were 95% copper. Each one of them is worth .0289787 cents in copper content on today's prices. Some 1982 cents were 95% copper, the others are mainly zinc, the best way to tell is be weight. The U.S. Mint issued both compositions in 1982; they can be differentiated by weight (3.11 g copper, 2.5 g zinc).
Some big gold sales happened in the night at Physical close to 1700
But one seller or two has reposition thier offers and quanity and dropped the prices 10 dollars or so.
I wonder if they are trapped by the high price they paid and cannot take a loss trying to follow the physical bids down.
Indeed. Gold is the answer.
"This could be your last chance as today"
Last chance of what???
The Honoured Representatives of the American people are those who decide, not a few nutjob extremists on the Internet.
And these Representatives will enact the McConnell-Obama agreement, opening a new era of prosperity for the United States of America.
Does the new comment system have a way to ignore this shit-for-brains troll?
Tyler, time to interview before you allow new trolls on the site. What planet is this fool from.
-1 for crying to the man.
Old troll. Actually, old meta-troll. The original was much funnier. This one is a mediocre imitator.
Hamy,
You need to buck up lad.
That is very sloppy indeed.
I am truely disappointed of the lack of sense of humor on this board.
It seems the sense of humor did not migrate over with the new UI.
I'll email Sacrilege and see what he can do. There must be an app for that. :)

disturbance nice.......................
I hope the people shouting in House were telling them to vote against the bill.
According to the Rep, they had a sign that said create jobs. I think they confused the House of Reps with a mirror...
Good point.
Come on, I want to see some carnage, looking for all the bond shorts to get wiped out.
Carnage bitchez!
Coming to a slew of markets near you soon.
Can yields really go any lower now?
Look one of Hamy's other accounts!
Pretty fast on the edit and move though.
Japan's 30 year is 2%, so yes, it's possible.
looks like the 'tard has had another tough day at "my bank / our bank" where he processes the same exact 1099's day in and day out under grueling, tortuous conditions of looking at his red etrade account, surfing the internet and posting at zh.
>>THPFFFT<<
Way to silence the people there! "Off to jail with you people! Upset at your reprsentatives, we won't have it!"... nice
Sergeant of Arms swept the "disturbing" citizens away into the police van waiting outside. What were they chanting?

With grieve in our hearts, we raised the debt ceiling to 15 or 16 trillion, whatever, we raised it!
We did so to protect all of you for 2 more years from this recession! and let your kids and their kids and their kids and their kids pay for it...
and for a coincidence, 2 years is all we need to get our own money out of this market and invest it wisely in Azia....
And now.... LET'S PARTY LIKE IT'S 2007!!! WHO WANTS SOME FREE MONEY!!
No not you... you don't own a TBTF Bank...
You want your money? Better get it OUT of the banks soon.
Use those fiats to buy gold and food and... Well you all know.
did that almost 1 1/2 and 1 year ago and my last big funds on newyear :)
"Use those fiats to buy gold and food and... Well you all know."
Bearings? Lots and lots of ....bearings?
Which allows my mind to wander (hope it comes back soon), how would stacks of shiny "silver" colored bearings and of course those nice "gold" colored "cadmium plated" bearings be viewed during an unannounced IRS raid?
Really officer, these are spare bearings for all of my trailers - I, I, I didn't know that I should declare excess spare parts inventory on my 1040!
Sudden, I think you might want to keep a closer eye on Europe as it prepares to blow up.
I already came to terms with it.
And when it does, I'm cashing in ;)
Over here, more and more people start to realize it's over. Our media is beginning to bring it out in a pretty clear way.
Today it was my first day back to work after my vacation. At work, we all talked about how bad our economy is and how long it will take before the house of cards colapses.
We agreed on 6 to 12 months before the fire take the entire first floor. After that there's no more way out.
Almost everybody agreed that buying gold is the thing to do. Everybody should own at least 5000 euro in gold and put it away.
Tomorow, I promised a few guys to help them buy it online because none of them ever bought gold before.
And as for Europe...
I'm from Belgium, I'll always be from Belgium and nobody will ever that change that. My family line goes back to 1420 and they all lived in the city of Ghent where I also am born like my kids.
I never voted for Europe. I was never asked about what I think about Europe. I don't feel European, and I'll never be European.
And when the European fairy tale ends... I'll never admit I was European.
OK but that torture gear in the Castle of Ghent is pretty wicked.
Good post, Sudden Debt
MAke sure that you understand this: you and me have to work hard to earn money, there is free money only for the banks.
I understand that basic premis.
But it is still my responsibilty to stay ahead of the government, taxation and the banks, within the rule of law. (even tho my government tax adversary can change the laws.) And nothing will ever change that fact of my life in America.
Your 100% correct. But I can never be disueded from my goals because of increasing unfairness. I got hired in spite of affirmative action. Unfairness is inherant for those who risk to be successful. That's America. I determine what level of success I settle for. My effort and my decisions. Not the government or any bank. (Banks can be used to great benefit, too, you know.)
Assuming the great ( Inflator) doesn't rear it's ugly head...
It's just like when your favorite sitcom breaks for the summer. Damn but I'm going to miss this cast of lovable misfits.
The reruns sometimes taste better after 'stewing' for a few months.
2 and 1/2 legislative bodies?
What a bunch of fucking liars. The whole stinking lot of them. I could not live with myself knowing that everyday I was going to get up in front of a group of people and lie.
It's only a lie if you believe it is. That's why God created denial and corruption.
Maybe so Cog but it just makes me sick. You try to live your life by doing the right thing everyday and you see them getting away with this.
And now you are getting to the root of our anger and frustration. That the myth we were taught to love and respect has either never been true to begin with, or that it has been horribly subverted and destroyed.
I often wonder who is the fool here. The fact that my believing set me up to be screwed? Meaning that I was the patsy. Or that I still think we can return to those values, again assuming they ever were in play in the first place.
I feel the same way. I like to believe the values were there at one point in time. Maybe I am insan, who knows. I keep telling myself "screw it I'm going to play by their rules' but I can't bring myself to do it. Not out of fear of being punished ,but because I have this antiquated ritual of examining my conscious every night.
It seems the unexamined life may not be worth living, but it can be extremely profitable.
Recognizing the deck is stacked against you is one thing. Continuing to demand to be dealt in is another. Anger that others have no problem screwing you is a third. Trying to game the system, but failing to even start because you are bogged down by what appears to be outmoded morals, in effect trapped by your old conditioning, is a fourth.
This mental hamster wheel is a trap. We don't need to play the game mentally or physically. But we are dealing ourselves in on a daily basis by our participation. If just 20% of us were to withdraw 20% of our daily spending it would collapse the system. The fear is that doing so might not collapse the system and thus result in our being screwed again, this time directly by our hand.
A system such as this is pure evil.
The reason you and many, many others feel this way is because your emotional response mechanisms have been bred into you over hundreds of generations. Consider old proverbs such as "The tall blade of grass gets cut down", or "The nail that sticks up gets hammered down". From whence did these arise - what kind of experiences shaped these warnings?
What about the various punishments meted out for treason and or other crimes against the state, such as being hung, drawn & quartered? Think it had any effect on conditioning behavior, and true to Darwin, enabled those who adapted well to submission to thrive & succeed? What about the role religion played(s) in terms of reinforcing these concepts of "good behavior"?
I've often said the primary difference between regular intelligent people and those who attended the very finest schools isn't academics. Rather, it's the routing that takes place between those directed towards the various professions, such as medicine, law, research, etc and those who "get the truth" and immediately go for the brass ring.
Bernanke, Geithner, the whole crew, they understand full well what is occurring and what they are doing. But they really are different than me & you: they come from a long line of people who have always understood the game, and have taught each successive generation the necessary rules to win.
In some sense, I pity you. CogDis writes frequently on this topic. My only advice would be to "grow up", get a clue, and try to live the rest of your life with some awareness of what's really goin' down. Don't be a Denninger - it will only result in sadness.
I can't let this comment sit out in the sun for an hour without acknowledgement. I just can't. So why not go into the way back machine and answer one of this dog's comment's by quoting him:
You're right, you know. However, being right doesn't buy you a damn thing. It's actually worse; there's a good reason ignorance is bliss.
How are you going to capitalize on your observations & insights? Make more money? Get laid more often? Eat more caviar, lobster & steak? Go on more vacations? Go under the knife for a complete cosmetic makeover?
What did fame & fortune buy Tiger? What does it buy any of the cut-up guys & dolls parading around West LA or Newport?
Wouldn't you just rather be a drunken, unemployed sod in a played out mining town in north England, betting on a few games and snarking on your buddies?
Eat, sleep, shit, screw, die. Chimps have got it easy.

<----- Mail them spent bullet shell casings!
<----- Stick your head in the sand
Green, but don't put your real name on the return address.
Please also handle casings with gloves, do not use a registered gun to create the casings, and mail using a rural post office (one without outside video monitoring) outside of your current jurisdiction.
Pretty sure bullet casings would be considered a death threat. Off to GITMO with you, Mr. White American Terrorist you. lol
Write a message, roll it up and put it in the brass message holder ... Voila, 1st amendment.

With all these suspects presenting themselves I will get my promotion to supervisor by October.
Thank you Tyler!
Maxine Waters talking about the constitution????
the world is ending
Wow, bottom fishers are all over the place.
Bears still cannot muster much of a decline off the 3-year highs.
Bill Gross' nights have undoubtedly become very agitated since is ill-inspired short of USTs. Must suck to be his Ukrainian housekeeper. Sweaty sheets to change every day...

Whatever Debt Rolling.
You should run for Congress. Your bullshit would fit right in.

How many of the Tea Party reps are willing to put all the appropriations for their districts on the chopping block?
If they're serious about cuts, start at home...their constituents demand it!
there's only a handful of real tea pariters and most of them would not
Oh! It's hard to agree with you sometimes snowball, but you get a green and:
+ $1625
Tea Party needs to lead by example. Will they?
Just trying to separate the grandstanding from the action a little. It's easy to advocate taking medicine when you don't think you'll be the one taking it.
You mean like when Al Gore stopped living in an energy hog mansion, stopped flying around the world in jets, stopped eating meat and only had 4 children in the name of taking his medicine on global warming?
Hah! Good one! GREEN! For you, but Al Gore would get a red.
Sure, if the best approach to combating hypocrisy is equal and opposite hypocrisy.
Enjoy your meds.
One way to combat hypocrisy, actually, is to point it out.
Enjoy the short bus.
Keeping it real is always a good thing.
Yes it is. I gave you a greenie for that one DoChen.
Fuck yes we do! start cutting and firing and laying of the TICK'S.
This is like watching a bunch of Automatons, spouting the same garbage on a tired 8 track.
If I knew where the robot factory was, i would pay a visit, with my little friend.
Pathetic criminal douchebaggery,Jobs,Jobs Job's.
How about, get all the fleas and lice and piglets off the teat,
send the very expencive hemmeroids home and see how they do without the tax payer tit in their mouth, digusting parasites, how dare they even walk without bowing their heads in shame,
perverse delusional scum.
With 44M of them, you're gonna need a lot more ammo.
This one is for you. YEN.

"How many of the Tea Party reps are willing to put all the appropriations for their districts on the chopping block?"
I'd say nearly 80% - BUT - only if accompanied by a matching lowering of taxes. So, if no appropriations land in your district, then NO taxes should be withheld from your constituents. Sounds like a deal to me.
You assume that their districts were contributing more in taxes than they took out in the first place. Not necessarily true for many of those southern Rs.
Listening to these republican dudes brings back fond memories of the Bush years Drier, Skimpus etc
Man Talk about a circus, 2% in 2 years !! and it's not even cut's, it's cutting what they were thinking about spending more on!! Talka bout fear tactics they are trimming the nut hair on the flea when they need to shave the wholly mamoth! Talk about a fucking circus! gold, silver, abolish fractional reserve banking force banks to keep 100% of demand deposites and if they dip into demand deposites to cover time deposites put them in jail, abolish the fed and have a debt jubilee biblical style and recapitilize the system in gold and silver...1 year depression and then prosperity after that. Done and Done all problems solved.....Bitchez can't see the forest for the tree's..
You don't actually understand how banking works any more than you know how to use apostrophes.
I know as it's structured now. It's a Big fucking circle jerk ponzi scheme where everyone buys each others' debt with impunity and finally, it collapses, then the fed comes in to pad everyones balance sheet throw the small banks under the bus and stimulate A shitload of mergers consolidating every industry with cheap credit making the rich richer and the poor poorer. Please explain to me how everyone is supposed to get interest paid on there savings when the interest rates are set by correlation arbs basing all of the interest rates off of the treasury curve. The treasury curve effectively rigging the cost of money (well the fed via QE), and let us not even speak of the contraction of the checkbook money that would ensue should interest rates go up....the system is rigged against the people it's about time to pur this monetary system back into the pits of hell from which it came..and start over while we still have the chance...

Equally divide the 'super Congress' or whatever they call it? Yes, then we get gridlock and nothing done. Six for and six against. See below:
"Similar to House-passed bill, framework authorizes POTUS to request second tranche of
debt limit increase of $1.5T if:
- Joint Committee cuts spending by greater amount than the requested debt limit hike,
OR
- A Balanced Budget Amendment is sent to the states."
So, they send the BBA to the states where they take years to act on it.
Huge loophole. Does anybody out there read this differently?
Any spoilers on the hottest reality TV show, Real Assholes Of DC, on the fastest growing network, SEE-SPIN? Have they added a laugh track in yet? It's the only way the show makes any sense.
I'm listening to Paul Ryan on the Michael Medved show right now and he is a goddam traitor. Anyone politically astute in the least knows the details of this plan by now, they know that it is a total cave by the Republican leadership, they know that the Republican leadership is playing its constituents for dunces and fools. But the Republican leadership and any Republican that votes for this garbage is in for very rude awakening next year when they find themselves voted out of office. 2010 targeted communists in Democrat clothing. In 2012 we go after the traitors on the Republican side.
There's still time to get on the phone to OUR REPRESENTATIVES and let them know how much you hate their fucking guts and how you intend to FIRE THEM if they vote for this travesty.
And Michael Medved, son of two communists who has taken up the mantle of conservatism as a false front, can go fuck himself. I hate his fucking guts.
I had the same reaction to Meved three years ago, and I haven't listened to him since. He's clueless and blin dto the threats to our freedom!
In other words, vote out the guys who say they're only going to put the tip in, but let the guys who tell you they're going balls deep stay? Got it........ (what's wrong with denying entry to the backdoor?)
Macho, I think Hairy Reid is promising to pull out and come on yer belly'

HL Shanken, You have hit the nail on the head, I am sure that you and most Z.H er's are fully aware of "Common Purpose" and it's various US counterpart organizations, if not, I hope you will begin to inform yourself
and others about this TREASON that is fully embeded in the REPUB and DEM scumorganizations, (Look Ma' i invented a new word!).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVbDdWKyYNc
I watched a much shorter expose on Common Purpose some time ago, so I'm familiar with it. I'm just getting started watching the video you've posted. I can tell you that Common Purpose is indeed a communist front, and beyond that, all communist fronts are centrally controlled from Moscow. I have been a very serious student of communism, the USSR, KGB, GRU, etc. since 2004, the year I stumbled upon a short essay by a man who today writes for Financial Sense Online named JR Nyquist. It took only five minutes to read, but reading it has led to understnading the world as it is.
2004 was an election year, and I was struck by the fact that the rhetoric of John Kerry, the Democrat nominee for president, sounded uncannily like Soviet propaganda of old. For obvious reasons, it was rather confusing to say the least. Then, while involved in studying what I viewed at the time to be the biggest evil on the planet, Islam (I still of course believe it's evil as well as ridiculous), I came across Nyquist's article. From that moment on everything began to make sense. Intuitively I knew that I'd stumbled upon a very important piece of information, and I set about to verify its accuracy, which entailed an in-depth study of all Nyquist's work as well as the subjects I mentioned previously.
If you haven't read what I consider to be the best introduction to the real truth about world events yet, I hope you'll do so now.

H.L. Shenken,
Thanks for an intersting link, it is read and understood,
any investigation of this subject in the USA would be met with the,
"Ooh it's Mc Carthy'ism" response.
And the FBI is probably as rife with the moles as the D.O. Justice.so it will never happen, ( a forensic,deep down investigation).
I believe that hundreds or possibly thousands of FBI and D.O.J employees are patriotic US citizens, but the top dawgs are COMMON PURPOSE,
They are in deep,and have a very clever approach,to acheive their agenda,
It would not suprise me if the clowns in the Whitehouse were card carrying members, in fact,it is almost directly implied by Obamas relationship with ACORN and it's subsiduaries.
I will be praying for a rogue investigator to bring FACTS to light,
In the DOJ,FBI,NSA,CIA or Mall security, I hope someone grows a testicle.

Organized as a 501(C)(4), The Common Purpose Project has chosen to voluntarily impose higher standards on it than those required by law. Specifically, the organization will limit donations from individuals to $50,000 and not accept donations from any corporations, labor organizations, foreign nationals, registered federal lobbyists, political action committees, partnerships or foundations.
In an effort to be open and transparent, The Common Purpose Project will voluntarily disclose donors on a monthly basis. Additionally, the management and board of the organization will not include any federal lobbyists, PAC treasurer or officer, federal or other elected official or “bundler” as defined by the FEC.

I'd like to see that rep pull out his pocket Constitution again and point to the passage directing the federal government "to create jobs at any price". The USSR created loads of jobs for it's people, maybe we should follow their lead? Oh wait, we are..
Wow...what a joke. Is this a debate? Hahahaha.....
I just say one thing....the British parliament is so much more fun and serious than these retards talking for the FOX news dummies.
It's embarrassing to look at.
US voters, do something about this "Monty Python Show".
The "Spear of Destiny" comes to mind... If you can locate it... Adolphs ghost is sure to have some answers.
Funny how History repeats/ threepeats~ itself >?
I can't watch this BS. These are just talking heads who are anxious to start their well earned vacations as the get ready to take the month of August off! Christ almighty!
Oh Geez, Tim Griffin brought his daughter to the House. Hope she takes a shower after to get rid of all those germs! Yuck!
a good first step? not good but right direction? these are the encouragement you use on a three-year-old. Is this what USA has become?

I am watching Bloomberg and seeing all these 'leaders' stand up and talk about how good this bill is. They also point to how this will force the BBA to be voted on. See my post above. What a smoke job.
Oh! You should try watching it on C-Span! Even better. I won't be able to have salt now for a month or so.
Republicans should have insisted that the BBA must pass at least one chamber of congress. That would have been a compromise. Tea partiers wanted it to be sent to the states (pass both houses).
One chamber would have allowed for a real fight on the BBA with a hope to get it passed in the future. Just a vote is a non-starter and a joke.
